Of Mice and Man by John Steinbeck - a beautiful, deep, sad book about dreams, friendship and human cruelty. Lord Of the Flies by William Golding - someone had already mentioned that one. A must! Animal Farm by George Orwell - hard to read not because of the style but the content. And so true. I had...

The story started in 2001 or 2002, I'm not sure. I was 22 (23) years old, my younger sister was 14. I was a book fan since childhood, read a lot (about fourty books a year), but my sister differed from me and the family average. She usually watched Tv instead of reading. So, my parents decided to bu...

Hercules with the sarcastic point of view (he is a Star, herc-dolls, herc-drinks, shoes etc), and The Emperors New Groove with evil lady, Izma.

Alan Rickman..need I say more.  He is one of the most talented actors around today and his portrayal of Snape is amazing. Jason Isaacs, well..ahem..avoids fangirl scream and just noddles wisely.  Actually, even without the fangirl scream, Lucius Malfoy is one of my favorite characters; he is so d...

It was hard to decide.
Rock or classical?
Classical or rock?
It depends, but surely classical remains the same while rock changes.
I don't like changes. /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />
Is Pink Floyd classical, or not yet?

I play only the guitar, but it is enough for me. I would like to play the piano, I started to learn, but it was too hard with all those practicing... Ah, guitar is an universal instrument to play.
Especially for serenades!
